Pedi never imagined that he would return to Suker City in such a way.

When he first left Sukh City, he thought that his father had made him hide from the struggles of the upper nobles, and he thought that he would return to Suk City in two to three years, and then continue his leisure time until he returned to Crewe to inherit a castle, and then spent the rest of his life happily.

But the goddess played a big joke on him, and his life was like galloping on a war horse after leaving Suk City, and he had no idea what the view would be at the next location.

At the end of June, the weather in Sukh City was pleasant, the blue sky was covered with layers of white clouds, and the charming sun sprinkled on the earth brought warmth rather than heat.

Pedi Taka walks in the meadows of the plains east of the city of Suke, where sweet potatoes and wheat are growing in the surrounding fields, but the farms are long deserted. "War has ruined everything—" he tugged at the reins of his horse to stop it, and jumped off his mount and walked under a sweet date tree.

The smell of grass and earth in his nose was refreshing, and Pedi took off his gloves and expertly unfastened the buckle of his shoulder armor, and the knight next to him stepped forward at once, and the heavy armor on his body was completely removed.

"What a beautiful place. Anse Zora followed Peidi's example and removed his heavy armor, "This is the real Suke Plains. ”

Pedi didn't respond to Anse Zola, he twitched his nose and sniffed the faint sweet scent of the date palm trees. There was a faint magical effect on the branches, left over from the magic potion belt of insect control, and the sweet dates on the tree were dense enough to almost crush the branches, but there was a large section on the side that had been cut by a sharp blade, and Pedi could imagine how violently the owner of the farm had picked at that time.

"Click" Pei Di plucked a sweet date, wiped it on the soft armor of the glove in his hand, and put it in his mouth.

"It tastes good, but it's a little astringent... It's still a little time before it matures. Pedi said and put the sweet dates whole in his mouth.

"Most of the sweet dates in the Suke Plains are used to process fruit wine, because it does not taste very good, and only the sweet dates of Feld can be eaten directly. Archmage Leah watched the king put the sweet dates whole in his mouth and deliberately mentioned this.

"You taste it too. As if he hadn't heard the archmage's admonition, Pedi took another one and threw it to Leah.

"It's a little astringent, and it has a special bitter taste. Leah commented seriously, then picked another one and put it in her mouth, "But... This particular flavor is evocative. ”

Pedi smiled noncommittally, picked a few in a row, held them in his hand, and planned to eat them as he walked. As soon as he left, the guards began to scramble, and the fresh fruit was too tempting for them to go on the expedition for almost two years.

"Willy!" Pedi called out to his captain of the guard.

"Your Majesty. Willie walked towards the king as he stuffed the sweet dates into his skin.

"How about we have a barbecue here today?" Pedi looked at the grassland north of the farm, where a herd of wild deer could be faintly seen, "Let the boys get ready, we need a hunt..."

"Whoever has the most prey today, I will canonize him as my chief knight. ”

The king's words immediately made the eyes of the knights of the guards light up, and they gave up on robbing the sweet dates and called to the servants who were resting in the distance, and asked them to prepare bows and arrows for hunting.

Peidi laughed out loud, pushed away Hu Cong, who was about to lean up to pierce his armor, turned over and got on his horse, picked up the short bow on the saddle and galloped towards the grassland green in the distance.

The cold wind brought by the galloping horse blew on his face, and the bumpy horse's back made Pedy's heart beat faster, and when the prey got closer and closer, an irrepressible excitement resurfaced in his heart.

At this moment, Pedi forgot the troubled state affairs, forgot the family affection that made his heart ache, and forgot the ongoing war. A pleasant feeling that he hadn't felt in a long time relaxed his tense nerves, and when his prey fell, he laughed so heartily.

When the knights of the escort saw the king laughing heartily, they had no intention of hunting, and they silently followed behind the king, carefully protecting the king's safety.

Two hours later, Pedi stopped his hunting spree.

By the time they returned to their previous farm, it was already three hours later, and the hungry knights had begun to process the day's prey, and Willy-Jon's servant had taken out the seasoning packets he had brought with him and began to make a simple venison.

While bonfires were lit, Kanai and the other commanders arrived at the farm at the king's invitation. At the same time, elite soldiers from two brigades on the outskirts of the farm were building barracks and building improvised fortifications.

"Hey, Sir Wiley, I think it's up to me to spice it up. Goblin Commander Kanai's eyelids couldn't help but jump as he watched Willy Jon fiddle with the seasoning, "I've traveled around the continent for ten years in a row, and I'm the barbecue master in the team. ”

"You can go over there—" Willy-Jon glanced at Kanai, his hand moving.

"I'll be straight, I don't think your skill is worthy of such good venison. ”

"The old duke once praised me for being better at cooking than his court cook. ”

"That's the old duke's modesty, you actually take modesty as real!"

"Do you want to duel me?"

"Okay, but I don't compare swordsmanship with you, how about we compare cooking?"

"You're going to lose ugly. ”

"But first... You'll have to lend me some seasoning. ”

"The waterwheel is next to it, you go wash it, I don't think you woke up..."

Pedi watched the argument between the two with a smile on his face, and pointed to the ale barrel that he had just brought and commanded, "Give me a drink." He walked over to the grill, "I'll try it, I've never tried this before." ”

"Your Majesty, your noble status, just call us this kind of thing. Willie Jon tried to make his smile look genuine.

"Yes!" Kanai nodded frantically.

"Don't worry, I've seen countless barbecues and know how to get this stuff. Pedi also patted his chest and assured.

Willy-Jon and Kanay looked at the King's determined and confident expression and the deep interest, and subconsciously looked at each other and remained silent.

To everyone's relief, the king just wanted to flip the barbecue grill and didn't interfere with the seasoning.

In a pleasant atmosphere, half of the venison, coated with seasoning, is carried to the grill. Pedy slowly flipped the grill under the constant reminders of Willy and Kanay.

By the time the barbecue was oozing grease and aroma, the sky was completely dark.

An hour later, Pedi decisively gave up the boring barbecue task, and with a glass of ale, he and Anse Zorla and the others whispered interesting things that had nothing to do with this war, and let out bursts of hearty laughter from time to time.

"Isn't your barbecue all right?" Pety, who was too hungry to stand it, would shout at Willie Jon from time to time.

"Roasting requires a lot of patience, Your Majesty. Every time Willie Jon would answer so unhurriedly.

"Damn the barbecue, it shouldn't be tonight. Pedi responded with a vicious bite of the sweet date every time.

At nine o'clock in the evening, to the cheers of Willie Jon's roast, it was finally ready to be cut and plated.

It was a pleasant dinner, and it had been a long time since Pedi had thought that such a pleasant dinner, with a hot roast and a mellow highland ale, would allow him to forget all his troubles for a short time.

After dinner, the servants cleaned up the mess, and Pedi and Anse Zora strolled along the farmstead's idyllic paths, whispering under the stars.

But the conversation at this moment is not as pleasant as it was just now, and is replaced by seriousness and depression.

"The artillery positions have been constructed, fifty artillery pieces and sufficient ammunition have arrived at the front, and tomorrow morning the bombardment of the walls of Suker City can begin. Ans-Zola's words are not a report, but a reminder.

"Have you been to Suker City before?" said Pedi hadn't heard Anse Zora's warning.

"This is my first time in Sooke City. Anse Drola subconsciously looked in the direction of Suk City, "But I have fought for this city for countless years...", he said with a sigh of time in his tone, "I began to receive knightly education when I was as high as my father's sword, and my instructor kept telling me the 'glory of Suk City' and the importance of allegiance to the Emperor, and in those seemingly endless years I always adhered to my oath and... The glory of the so-called empire. ”

"I've imagined the city of Sukh countless times, and every time a warrior falls, I can't help but imagine how the high nobility of Suk City live every day, and I want to use my warhammer to smash their brains to see if their brains really contain shit. Anse Zora's eyes sparkled in the moonlight, "This city used to decide the fate of countless people across the continent, but now she can't even control her own fate. ”

"No one is in control of their destiny, and those who try to control their own destiny will end up miserable. Pedi couldn't help but sigh.

"You..."

"I just went with the flow. Pedi shrugged.

"You are not as humble as a king. Anse Zora said this with a hint of sarcasm.

"Haha!" Pedi didn't take this as sarcasm, he laughed out loud and then stopped, looked at the stars in the sky and said, "Then from tomorrow onwards, order the artillery regiment to bombard the walls of Suke City... Let's blast open the walls and see if those high-class nobles really have shit in their heads. ”

"Aren't you afraid of being smoked and not in the mood to eat?"

"Haha, that's better than having shit in your head!"

...

"Boom"

One clear morning, a roaring blast of artillery resounded over the city of Sukh, and violent explosions exploded on the magic shield held up near the eastern wall of the city, and the flames seemed to be burning in the sky.

"That's Pedy Reagan's evil wizards attacking us with their evil magic, our mages will block their attacks, evil cannot overcome good, we will win in the end..."

The officials of the city council began their speeches again, and the city was successfully suppressed by the panic caused by the shelling. Of course, this is more because of the huge magic shield that stands up over the city.

The scholars of the city are also recording: after three days of siege, the army of the Kingdom of Kruria began to bombard the towering walls of the ancient city with their latest weapons, and the city of Sukh was once again at a crossroads of fate. Today, the fate of the city is no longer decided by the nobles who stand high above, but by the Crewe people to the east.

The shelling outside the city continued all day, but the imaginary siege did not begin, and the siege troops, who had been waiting solemnly on the flanks of the artillery positions, returned to the camp after dark, and the shelling ceased when it became dark.

The next day, just after dawn, the shelling began again...

On the third day, the shelling continued.

Amid heavy shelling, the time came to July, and the battle outside the town of Tyre made a breakthrough on the third day of July, with 200,000 troops finally approaching the city

On the morning of the 6th of July, the town of Tyre, like the city of Souk, was subjected to heavy shelling, and the shields of the entire southern wall of the town were covered with artillery fire.

In the afternoon of the next day, news came from the direction of Kwyn that the army of the Principality of Twak had successfully cleared the defensive line of the guard towers on the outskirts of Kwyn and began to attack Kwyn, and forcibly cut off the commercial trade between the Orcs of Klan and Suk City.

On 10 July, the Kamok Khanate of the Northern Klan Orcs announced that it would join the war against the town of Kwyn in the name of the Allies, following a collective vote of the 'Common Circle'.

The next day, a banner regiment of orcs stationed in the north of the town of Kwen quickly moved south, and in just one day they were under the town of Kwyn.

In just ten days, the situation on the battlefield in both Kwyn and Tyre has taken a turn for the worse.

At the same time, the shelling outside the city of Souk is also becoming more intense day by day.

The atmosphere of the Suker City Council was even more oppressive than before, and there were only twenty members left in the thirty-one councillors. Most of them were imprisoned for 'treason' by the guards and quickly hanged on the gallows in Victory Square, while Woz Pedro, who handled it all, was sitting in the seat of the parliamentarian at the moment.

A new day of the regular meeting of the city council, which unfolded in the military intelligence report of Military Officer Locks:

"The artillery bombardment of the kingdom army outside the city is increasing every day, and our mage troops can barely maintain the magic energy supply of the city shield device, if their artillery bombardment continues to intensify, we will have to consider recruiting more mages..."

"But the problem is, there are no more magicians in Suker City to recruit. As he said this, Temple-Bob cautiously looked at Penny, who was squinting at the Chief, as if she were sleeping.

"Then we have to think of other ways, such as strengthening the militia as mentioned earlier, or organizing a favorable counterattack, such as... Try to attack the artillery strongholds outside the city. Locks said this casually, but it was a good idea.

However, the rest of the hall didn't listen, or rather... What they don't care about at the moment is this war anymore.
